Dual Language Program Design Support

Consultation with program implementation experts is designed to maintain a critical eye on the alignment of dual language goals and non-negotiables with the systems being developed and decisions being made at the district and school levels. DLeNM offers various options for planning sessions and facilitation of sub-committee or district dual language planning committee meetings.

Co-Facilitation of DL Leadership Committee Meetings*

Co-facilitate DL Leadership Committee Meetings
Assist sub-committee members and program leaders in developing and delivering a clear and concise picture of decisions that need to be made

*To ensure that ownership of conversations and decisions lies with district personnel, DLeNM works to provide as much facilitation as deemed necessary for the productive engagement in discussions and decision-making conversations. The needed level of support for each session will be determined in collaboration with the designated program leaders.
